After 40 years in Delano, Al’s Old and New Book Store has moved to 360 E William Ste. 102! The new location is on the ground level of the Block 1 parking garage, facing out onto William Street with diagonal parking right in front. The store is now open Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5:30 pm and closed Sunday & Monday.

Our phone number is still 316-264-8763.

360 E William, Ste 102, is in downtown Wichita. That is one block south of Douglas, between Broadway and Topeka on the north side of the street. The store faces South onto William, behind the Kansas Leadership Center and Health Foundation building and is in the same block as the Ambassador Hotel.﻿ There is metered, angled parking out front, free parallel parking on Topeka right beside our building, and a parking garage (not free) overhead. We still miss Delano, but are excited to have a nice new space with easy access to highways, parking and the city bus system. Remember that the parking meters in front of our store do not have to be "fed" on Saturdays, Holidays or after 5 pm during the weekdays.
